Additional information
Nomadic lo-fi indie rock malcontent Cass McCombs' sixth album (and second of 2011) begins with the couplet "Love thine enemy/But hate the lack of sincerity," a notion that acts as the foundation for the eight cuts on the hypnotic but illuminating Humor Risk. The aforementioned "Love Thine Enemy" is just one of three slow-burn rockers on the record that bring to mind Kurt Vile fronting the Church; the other two, "The Same Thing" and "Robin Egg Blue," are prettier, but no less dissatisfied. It's a sound and style that work well with McCombs' obvious pop sensibilities, which tend to manifest themselves most successfully when the volume's turned up. Elsewhere, midtempo outings like the slacker-beat poetry anthem "The Living Word" and willowy psych-folk closer "Mariah" paint vivid portraits of amiable dissolution, and the languid and bible-bleak "To Every Man His Chimera" provides the collection's finest sentiment in "Oh, Mary/I'm just too much to carry." ~ James Christopher Monger
Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.83) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[D]owntempo numbers inject venom into plush chords -- see 'To Every Man His Chimera,' a chillingly real diss track that McCombs drapes in found sound." Spin (p.73) - "McCombs' protests against love's insincerity are lifted by punk-lite bass....Suffering has rarely sounded so comforting." CMJ - "The album's a marriage of McCombs' poetic and veiled lyrical style, and core Americana musicianship. Drums are snappy, guitars are never ornate, and melodies are at once deceptively simple and ear-catching." Paste (magazine) - "[With] songs that sound like lost tracks written by George Harrison, focusing on guitar melodies that sound simple but have a single note that makes them anything but."
